Making Good Hou.okeepers.

Miss Bentley gave an exhibition Of her
garden pupils yesterday afternoon. The
class consisted OF twcuty-four little
girls, ranging in age from u to 10, and
- representing almost every European
country Their long white pinafores,
futed muslin caps, and prim little ties,
gave them an appearance that was very
refreshing.
Thoy entered the room in single file to
o military march, carrying miniature
tables end boxes. In the latter were
linen, cutlery and small table furniture.
Brought to a halt, Miss Bentley put
the little housewives through a. cate
chism OF domestic literature, from
which the following quotations were
caught: -.eHr .'ra .-

dered tie under her chin.

Because the feathers scatter the
dust instead OF gathering ii" and such
queries OF similar practfcality.
After This part of the programme the
girls took out their little table cloths,
the piano struck up a series of popular
tunes, and the board was spread in
manner that was calculated to charm an
epjcurcan. -.r
Before the little beds were made the
class had an oral recitation, one Ques-
tion being: What three things are
necessary for nice bed makingf" The
answer was: " Level mattresses,
smooth clothes, and square corners"
Then the mattresses were whipped
into shape, the pillows knocked in form,
and in an Incredibly short time every
bed was as fiat as the nap on a SIS ulster.
and the children retired under a murmur
of applause.
On their return they carried trays,
with which they went through a series
of pretty manpuvres, the words being
suggested by the trio In " Patience.
Dishes were washed. and after the place
was "tidied up" broOms were used for
an exercise in CalistheniCs.
1t is needless to say that the exhibit
tion was enthusiastically received.
The little girls have been under the in
struction Of Miss Bentley for the last two
years, the school session being held Sat-
urday5 only. AS soon as her pupils have
completed the prescribed course it is the
teachers intention to provide each grad
uate with position in some first-class
family, where the intelligence Of the girl
will be appreciated--tC Chicago Tribune.

BY TIE FIRE.


She sat and unused by the driftwood fire.
As the loaping flames flashed higher and
higher;
And the phantoms of youth, as fair and
bright,
Grew for her gaze in the ruddy light:
The blossoms she gathered in lifc's
young days,
Wreathcd and waved In the fickeripr
blaze:
And she laughed through a sunny mist
of tears,
That rose at the dream OF her April
years;
And ever and aye tho sudden rain
Flashed on the glittcring window-pane.
Sobered and saddened the pictures that
showed
As the drift-wood logs to a red core
And the fancied figures Of older time
Passed with the stcAdied step of their
prime;
The daisies and snowdrops bloomed and
died,
Red roses and lilies stood side by side,
Willie richer and fuller and deeper grew
The lines of the pictures August drew;
And ever and aye the falling rain
Streaned thick and fast on the window
pane.
The driftwood died down into feathcry
Where family and fltfully shone the
flash;
Slowly and sadly her pulses beat.
And soft was the fall, as Of vanishing
feet;
And lush and green as from guarded
grave,
She saw the grass of the valley wave:
And Ike echoes in ruins seemed to sigh.
The wet West wind that went wan
dcring by,
And caught the sweep Of the sullen rain,
And dashed it against the window-pane.

New Sound Magniner.

The introduction of the megaphone on
shipboard-a sort of telescope for the
ear, or machine for magnifying sounds
said to be boon in prospect for mariners.
Its design is to enable person to hear or
carry on a conversation with people at a
distance, and it is constructed OF two
huge cone-shapcd tubes, eight feet long
and three in diameter at the large end,
which diminish to an apex in the form of
rubber tubes small enough to place in the
ear.
Between these tubes are two smaller
ones, constructed in the same manner
but not more than half the diameter. By
placing the rubber tubes in the ear and
speaking through the smaller cones the
person can hear and be heard at n long
distance, and it thus aids mariners in
listening for the sound of breakers, or
carrying on conversation with persons on
shore or on other vessels at a distance.

Had Never Seen His Wife and Children.

Had Never Seen His Wife and Children.
Several years ago a resident of one
of the suburbs had the misfortune to
become. totally blind, a cataract forming
over his eyes. While in this condition
his wife died.
A young German girl whom the un-
fortunate man had never seen was very
attentive to the wife in her last illness,
and after her death did what she could
TO make the grief-stricken husband and
his two little children as comfortable as
possible.
Such devotion did not go unrewarded.
The blind man proposed and was ac-
cepted. He married the faithful girl.
Two children were the result of this
union. During his years of blindness
the sightless never lost hopes that
some day he might again look upon the
beauties of nature and the loved ones
around him.
A physician was finally consulted who
agreed 10 attempt the removal Of the
cataract. The operation was successful,
and he from whom the light had been
shut. out so many years saw again. He
was almost beside himself with Joy.
A friend who was at once recognized,
came In leading a lady by the hand.

the past were forgotten in the pleasure
